Free tools for Instagram & TikTok

Nine no-friction tools for downloading Reels, TikToks, photos, carousels, transcripts and audio. Paste a link — we do the rest. No watermark, no email, no waiting.

What you can do with TrendSee Free

Download Reels in HD

Save any public Reel as an MP4 file in original quality. The file you get is identical to what the creator uploaded — same resolution, same bitrate, same colour. No watermark, no re-encoding, no preview ads.

Grab every slide of a carousel

Carousel posts can hold up to ten photos and videos. Our carousel downloader pulls all of them in one request, identifies which slide is which type, and lets you save each in the original format (JPG or MP4).

Save Instagram photos at full size

When you screenshot a photo from Instagram you lose half the resolution. Our photo downloader gives you the full file — usually 1080×1350 px — perfect for moodboards, references, and personal archives.

Frequently asked questions

Is everything really free?

Yes — all six tools are free without any registration or hidden upsells. We pay for it because some users will eventually try our paid analytics product on trendsee.io.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Everything runs in your browser. Open the page, paste a link, get the file. There's no app, no extension, and no desktop client.

Will downloaded videos have a watermark?

No. We pull the original media file directly from Instagram's CDN — the same MP4 the creator uploaded, in the same quality.

Do you store the URLs I submit?

We cache the resolved file information (not the file itself) for two hours so the next person who asks for the same link gets an instant response. Nothing personal is stored, nothing is sold.

Can I download from private accounts?

No. Private posts can only be accessed by the account's approved followers. No third-party tool can bypass that — including ours.

Are there limits on how much I can download?

It's free for everyday personal use. If you need to download a lot of videos or transcribe regularly, sign up for a free TrendSee account on trendsee.io — registered users get more without waiting.

Can I use this for my commercial work?

You can download anything public, but the content still belongs to its creator. Use it for reference, study, or with the creator's permission. Don't republish other people's work as your own.
